Actually, this has just become crucial for me. In my using of
hWaitForInput I missed that it blocks all other threads if no input
is available :-(. Arghh! I still need timeouts.

Regarding the behaviour of killThread, I believe the version in GHC is
slightly different from the version described in the Asynchronous
Exceptions paper, in particular the GHC version blocks until the
exception has been delivered to the target thread (use another
forkIO to
get the fully async version).
